Finish for half term

This half term we will be learning...

In English, we will be writing a biography on Nikola Tesla, focusing writing in the third person and subordinating and coordinating conjunctions. We will also begin reading the story Theseus and the Minotaur and will write a character description based in this.
In Maths, our focus will be on decimals. We will then begin looking at our money and also, telling the time. We will also be focusing on preparing for our multiplication check by refining our multiplication skills.
In Science, we are looking at Living Things and Their Habitats. This will include classification, change in environments and dangers to living things.
In History, we will be learning about Ancient Greece. This will include looking at the Greek Myths, the battle of Marathon and how Athens became a powerful city.
In R.E we are learning about Judaism and how do people of the Jewish faith use stories to remember God's covenant.

We are so proud to showcase our stunning new displays around school this half term! A huge thank you to the talented Miss Kausar, whose creativity and dedication have brought our learning spaces to life, and to the fantastic Nikki Whiston Inks and Promote Your School for the beautiful wall art that adds such vibrancy and inspiration to our environment. 🎨
Our displays do so much more than brighten up the corridors - they play an important role in learning too. They help to:
📚 Create an engaging and stimulating learning environment where children feel inspired every day
🌟 Celebrate and showcase children's incredible work, boosting confidence and pride
🧠 Support children in remembering key knowledge, topics, and concepts, making learning more meaningful and memorable.
It’s wonderful to see our school buzzing with colour, creativity, and celebration of learning. Well done to everyone involved in making our school such a welcoming and inspiring place to be! 👏 12 Likes

Photos from Brambles Primary Academy's post We would like to wish all of our children and families celebrating in the holidays, a very Happy Eid 🌙✨
Earlier this week, some of our children had the wonderful opportunity to visit Orchard Primary Academy. They shared their own experiences of Eid, answered lots of thoughtful questions about how it is celebrated, and took part in some lovely creative Eid arts and crafts activities.
Our children absolutely loved the visit and were fantastic ambassadors for our school. It was great to see them so confidently sharing their knowledge and traditions. The children at Orchard Primary also learned so much about Eid, making it a really special and meaningful experience for everyone involved.
Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating! 💛 8 Likes

The children have absolutely loved exploring the new additions, and it has already made such a positive difference to their playtimes. It’s been wonderful to see them more active, creative and engaged during outdoor play, using the equipment in so many different ways.
Your continued support truly makes a difference to our school community, and we are so grateful for everything you do to enrich the children’s experiences.
Thank you again! 💛 3 Likes
